Lincoln Windows

What Lincoln Windows does

Lincoln Windows, legally Lincoln Wood Products, Inc., is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of custom-built wood windows and patio doors founded in 1947 in Merrill, Wisconsin by Carl and Jane Bierman. The company operates over 500,000 square feet of manufacturing space across multiple Merrill facilities with approximately 300 employees, producing six core window types (Casement, Awning, Double-Hung, Glider, Bay & Bow, and Specialty Windows), four patio door lines (Swing, Slide, Folding, and Multi-Slide), and a Revitalize replacement series. Its technical differentiation rests on mortise and tenon joinery, double-strength glass standards, warm edge spacer glazing systems, and cellular PVC components used in rot-prone areas, with exterior options spanning heavy extruded aluminum clad (AAMA 2605 finish), vinyl clad, hybrid, primed wood, and natural wood in species such as pine, mahogany, and Douglas fir.

The company distributes exclusively through a network of over 400 independent dealers across the U.S. and Canada, including distributors, lumber yards, and millwork specialty dealers, and maintains 28 warranty service centers across 16 states for after-sale support. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of custom-configured products for residential new construction, remodeling/replacement, and light commercial applications, with secondary parts revenue through authorized distributor GoWindowGo.com and phone ordering at 1-715-218-5715. Adjacent vinyl product capability is provided through sister company Timeline Vinyl Products, Inc., established in 1994 under continued family ownership. NFRC certification and ENERGY STAR partnership supply independent energy performance validation, while 20-year paint warranties on aluminum clad products and a 2008 Crystal Achievement Award underwrite the brand's quality claims.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Harvey Building Products: Northeast U.S.-focused manufacturer and distributor of windows, doors, and porch products. Comparable dealer-based distribution model and custom wood/vinyl product offering, but with a primarily regional geographic footprint that limits direct overlap with Lincoln's broader national coverage.

Broad incumbents

• JELD-WEN: Public, large-cap global manufacturer of windows, doors, and other building products including the acquired Weather Shield brand. Operates at vastly greater scale than Lincoln with a much broader portfolio, more diverse channels (including big-box retail), and global manufacturing footprint.
• Ply Gem Holdings: Broad building products manufacturer offering windows, doors, siding, and accessories across multiple brands and channels including home centers and dealers. Larger scale and broader portfolio than Lincoln, but overlapping window and door product lines for residential new construction and remodeling.

Direct peers

• Andersen Windows & Doors: One of the largest U.S. manufacturers of wood, wood-clad, composite, and fiberglass windows and patio doors. Directly competes with Lincoln in the dealer channel and premium residential segment, though at materially greater scale and with broader brand recognition.
• Sierra Pacific Windows: California-based privately held manufacturer of custom wood, aluminum-clad, and vinyl windows and patio doors. Comparable product portfolio (custom wood windows, multiple exterior options, impact-rated products) and dealer-based distribution, primarily serving Western U.S. markets.
• Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork Co. Wisconsin-based family-owned manufacturer of wood, wood-clad, and vinyl windows and patio doors. Nearly identical product portfolio, channel model (independent dealers), and customer base to Lincoln, making it perhaps the closest direct comparable in size and strategy.
• Milgard Windows & Doors: Manufacturer of vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, and wood windows and patio doors, now part of MI Windows and Doors. Comparable product line and dealer distribution, with historical strength in the Western U.S. Provides a useful reference point for Lincoln's addressable product range and dealer economics.
• Marvin Windows and Doors: Family-owned manufacturer of premium wood, wood-clad, and fiberglass windows and doors headquartered in Warroad, Minnesota. Highly comparable to Lincoln in product category (wood windows and patio doors), dealer-based distribution, and premium custom-build positioning.
• Pella Corporation: Major family-owned U.S. manufacturer of wood, fiberglass, and vinyl windows and doors sold through dealers, home centers, and direct channels. Overlaps directly with Lincoln in custom wood windows and patio doors for residential new construction and remodeling.
• Weather Shield Manufacturing: Wisconsin-based manufacturer of wood, clad-wood, and vinyl windows and doors. Now part of the JELD-WEN portfolio, but historically a direct competitor to Lincoln in custom wood windows for residential and light commercial projects distributed through independent dealers.
